The General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) covers international trade in
goods. The workings of the GATT agreement are the responsibility of the
Council for Trade in Goods (Goods Council) which is made up of
representatives from all WTO member countries. The current chairperson
is Amb. Dacio CASTILLO (Honduras).

The
Goods Council has 10 committees dealing with specific
subjects (such as agriculture, market access, subsidies,
anti-dumping measures and so on). Again, these committees
consist of all member countries.

Also
reporting to the Goods Council are a working party on state trading
enterprises, and the Information Technology Agreement
(ITA) Committee.

The Goods Council is responsible for the operation of the GATT Agreement and for the work of the committees, working groups and working parties on sectors of activity covered by the Agreement. These are:
